Use and Care Manual

4 English
▶ Apply only moderate pressure and cut at an appropriate speed, especially when cutting large-diameter
pipes. This will help to prevent the power tool overheating.
▶ Before cutting through pipes, make sure that the pipes are empty, i.e. that they do not contain liquids.
Drain the pipes if necessary.
▶ When cutting through pipes, hold the power tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting through.
◁ The power tool incorporates no protective measures to prevent ingress of water or moisture. Liquids
running out of pipes may cause a short circuit in the power tool.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
◁ If the saw blade strikes an object it may cause the power tool to kick back.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and before transport.
▶ Engage the transport lock before storing or transporting the power tool.
▶ Observe the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the handling and storage of saw blades.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not take apart, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not attempt to charge or continue to use damaged batteries.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch, it may be defective. In this case, place the power tool in a non-flammable
location, well away from flammable materials, where it can be kept under observation and left to cool
down. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has cooled down.
